The relationship between a worker and his/her employer is one that is infinitely complex.

In the pursuit of these objectives hierarchical relationships inevitably emerge. These relationships for…
In fact, Oliver Stone’s career was never as outrageously conten-tious as this when it started, neither was it even at the putative height of his artistic and commercial powers in the decade that spanned the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Freedom of speech and extremism in university campuses are major sources of debate and moral panic in the United Kingdom today. In 2018, the Joint Committee on Human Rights in Parliament undertook an inquiry into freedom of speech on campus. It found that much of the public concern is exaggerated, but identified a number of factors that require attention, including the impact of government coun…

Those regulations also establish standards of legal behavior by which a judge or jury may later decide whether you and your employ…

The outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor was already a legendary, disputed figure by the time Scott wrote - a heroic Scottish Robin Hood to some, an over-glamorised, unprincipled predator to others. Scott approaches Rob Roy indirectly, through the adventu…
